[Sheepranch] Accounting and Acknowledgements

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

I said it before and I'll say it again:

"Another idyllic and delightful Sheephandle weekend! Thank you to our esteemed Pooh-Baaa! and everyone else as well, especially the folks who prepared all the great food. And Robert for the musical accompaniment! ... "

Thank you for the vote of confidence, Linda! I wasn't much use this weekend, crapped out Saturday afternoon/evening completely (yeah, slept for four hours or so, completely missing dinner prep, etc...). Sigh. Pieces are still mending, and it costs me a lot of energy now and then. 

It was great to see all'y'all, and great to be there despite the utter crap weather we had for a time. No big deal ... I didn't leave the ranch house at all on Saturday. 

I look forward to next year, as the gods permit. 🚀😎❤️‍🩹

usw,
G

We started the weekend strong with Ed and Martin who leave WA with a plan and feed us a warm and delicious meal just as we get into town. Thanks to Jim for stepping up for Saturday supper (also for just plain making it to CA) and to Lee and Robert for their help with Sunday dinner.

An extra shout out to Mauro for doing the big Costco shopping trip and bringing delights from Douce France for breakfast and dessert. Gratitude to Lee for the fruit salad every morning and to Rob for pulling extra kitchen duty.
